    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The atmoshpere was good and people would be nice and friendly to you. there was always an element of fun and you can tell that people get on and care about each other. this environment encouraged communication and allowed me to ask questions without feeling stupid or judged. this helped my learning

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • there were no jobs available for me at the time but i have been given contacts for any future jobs that may come about. they also opperate a program where some year long students are selected for job opportunities in the future. overall they do offer some futuer opportunities just not for me

    2/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Due to only being on a short internship i didnt really socialise with the year long placement students however i know that they do socialise between themselves. I did meet up with some of the other internship students and we would have lunch together. the team also socialise and have lunch together everyday

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I kept my university house for this internship and therefore dont know the cost of living in this area but have been told by other interns that its very resionably priced. as for the cost of socilising there are pubs near by which i believe are also resonably piced. Overall an ok cost of living

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • I did not attend any nights out in this area. There are bars and one club in fleet that i believe people have gone to and it seemed good. however as far a nightlife I have experienced it is none. Overall it is there if you look for it but not as readily available

    1/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • BMW have charity and diversity and inclusion groups that people can help with giving you stuff to do both in and outside of work. I took part in the minds matter group and assisted in the planning of a day for world mental health day. This was an interesting and beneficial experience.
